'Frustrated' Scotland 'need to look at themselves'

Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw on BBC Two: "It's quite frustrating. We couldn't really generate the speed of ball in the second half, but you have to credit South Africa and the way they defended."

Asked if he regretted not taking a kick at goal, rather than going for touch, with 20 minutes left, Laidlaw said: "Potentially, yes, but you have got to be brave to win Test matches. We had enough opportunities to put points on the board off the back of that. We just needed to execute.

"They went and scored again anyway so we'd have probably needed to score again ourselves.

"We are disappointed, but we need to look at ourselves and make sure we generate quick ball."

'Each game Pollard is getting better'

South Africa captain Siya Kolisi on BBC Two: "Today was very tough, all credit to Scotland. You can see
with their record, they’ve only lost one out of 10 games. We knew how big a
challenge it was.

"We focused really hard and worked on all the things that
didn’t go right last week [ v France]. We made a couple of plans and we stuck to them and I
think we managed the period [when Willie le Roux was in the sin-bin] quite
well.

"Each game he [Handre Pollard] is getting better, he is one of the leaders in the
team, he helps me with a lot of things and we are really proud of him."

South Africa 'playing with heart'

FT: Scotland 20-26 South Africa

Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard, who was named man of the match, on BBC Two: "There's a long way to go and a lot of lessons to learn but it's nice to get a couple of wins on the road. [Head coach] Rassie [Erasmus] is bringing back the real culture of the Springboks. We are playing with heart and we just want to make the people proud back home."

Quote Message: I think this will be one of South Africa's best wins of the year. Especially away from home because we haven't had many wins away from home in 2018. I think their decision-making and the accuracy has been the most impressive thing they have showed today.

'Scotland lacking fluency?'

"I don’t think Gregor Townsend will be happy with the last 10 minutes, not just because of the scoreline. Scotland have not been able to put
any passages of play together. The fluency is nowhere near what it was in the first
half."

Hogg forced off for Scotland

Another intervention from Stuart Hogg, who picks up a loose ball and chips ahead up the left touchline before Elton Jantjies mops up and Handre Pollard sends a relieving kick into touch.

But unfortunately for Hogg, and Scotland, that dash seems to have caused the full-back a problem, possibly to his ankle, and he takes his leave, with Chris Harris coming on and Sean Maitland switching to full-back.

Turning point?

"I thought Scotland would take the points but Gregor Townsend
wants them to show ambition. On such small margins do games turn. I wonder whether we will see that as a turning point at the end of the game."
